The Gift

The Present

By Michael WinstonPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

The past is history

The future is a mystery

The present is a gift

Making everyday Christmas

Filling the air with joy even when surrounded by sorrow

Thinking of the mysterious stress of tomorrow

Am I wrong if I spend hours alone

Enjoying the gift

As if I don't have a worry in the world

To find inner peace is the true gift

Making me filled with bliss

My hearts desires are fulfilled like I have a shooting star for every wish

It's only the gift

From every second to every minute to every hour

Concluding that time is an illusion

Leaving a closed mind filled with confusion
